Hi, Oh, I know. I rather liked Defiant's cloak myself. Only problem is that the game never properly worked right ever since adding it to the game. I could have fixed it by completely rewriting the A.I. from scratch, but by then I was already involved on new games and had lost the original source code for STFC so couldn't do it the way it needed to be done. I suppose if we completely ignored the ability to build ships of various classes we could probibly do it, but then we are talking about ignoring one of the major features of the new game. The new STFC is more like a real time strategy game, like SoundRTS, where you give the ships commands to protect a sector of space, attack a certain sector, etc and the A.I. takes over at that point. It is far better than the turn based game we have now as everything happens in a more real time environment.
